Don't slam the door when you leave
the Library. It is annoying TO those
engaged in reading and dangerous to
little children who might be passing out
Immediately behind you. The doors
are heavy and would badly crush fin.

Don't slam the door.

"why Fannie, how elegantly you have
your Chautauquans bound"
Eyes, Minnie, I have Just been up to
the Library after them. Don't you
know I believe there are some of our
people who don't know they can have
their periodicals bound right here as
good and cheap as they can any place +?
Now just see how beautifully this is
bound, and only cost seventy.five cents.
I think Mr.. Duffey is just splendid,
don't your"
eyes, I do. Fan, and am going to get
him to do some work for me-"
Professor Mckenzie has an interest
in the famous Emmet art collection at
Waverly, and says if he can get suit.
able room he will remove half of it to
Hillsboro. This collection is valued at
$3.50, 900, and half of it would make a
nice little art museum. Let the Profes.

Here's q scheme. What's tho use of
going off to Adams county to the Springs
when we have one or two right at home.
Patterson's spring on the West Union
pike is strongly impregnated with min.
eral and is said to be healthy. Let some
enterprising citizens form a company,
clean out the spring, put up pavilion,
hotel, some summer houses, etc., and
We will just venture the assertion that
Patterson's Spring will be patronised.
Just nice distance from town, and the
summer boarders can drive in every
evening, get papers, mail, etc., and
thoroughly enjoy themselves. Honest,
I believe it good scheme.

Join a reading circle for the winter.
There's the English Literary Circle and
the Chautauquan Circle, both of which
are sustained here and are excellent or
ganisations. Pick up q few bits of
knowledge every week, and it will prove
both profitable and pleasant.

"What do think of private theatri-
cals"F Why, think they are an ad-
mirable pastime. It is good entertain.
ment, and besides this, the committing
and acting of some standard plsy is an
excellent education. It improves your
language, familiariEes you with popular
quotations, and gives you grace aud self
possession. Let the young people or.
ganise companies and give private theat-
ricals.
